Eligible hospitals and healthcare providers can now access the portal to register and participate in meeting Stage 1 of meaningful use. However, for the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, only the following states are currently able to register through the portal:

•    Alaska
•    Iowa
•    Kentucky
•    Louisiana
•    Oklahoma
•    Michigan
•    Mississippi
•    North Carolina
•    South Carolina
